Abstract

CINTRA, Simone Cristiane Silveira. Poetic autobiographical narratives: (self) investigation in the educator’s and researcher’s training. ETD [online]. 2011, vol.12, n.02, pp.190-210. ISSN 1676-2592.

In this experience report, I narrate and discuss aspects of the multiple ways which integrated my doctoral research. Among those aspects, I point out the apprenticeships and conceptual reorganizations and propositions created by living and reflections about two memorial exercises that I did as graduate student. I point out also the implications of that narrative/reflexive movement within the methodological way built and consolidated through the different steps of the research. My research was configured as investigation-formation one; it enclosed the work of formative actions and their investigation. The work of formation was made with three different groups of undergraduate students of Unicamp (State University of Campinas) . During our meetings, the participants prepared poetic autobiographical narratives, so named because they were created from elements of artistic languages. I identified those poetic autobiographical narratives as practices that facilitate processes of productions with symbols, as well as dealing with it. I looked for those formation work process evidences made with a group of nineteen undergraduate students in Pedagogy. I identified evidences of symbolic processes present on two of the students’ narratives, based on C. G. Jung’s Analytical Psychology. And, from those evidences, I reflected about possible implications of those processes in autobiographical practices in the teacher initial training.
